As an internationally-recognized leader in industrial cyber-security and a trusted advisor to many of our member organizations, we are very excited to welcome Wurldtech into the ISCI as a Technical Member. Their unique domain expertise, leading technologies and industry stewardship will provide great value to the ISCI and our efforts to secure process control systems and products around the world.
We are very pleased to be working with an industry leader like Wurldtech. We will be able to provide Achilles security technology, a comprehensive testing platform for assessing vulnerabilities and cyber-security threats to control system devices and the networks our customers use. In addition, Bell’s security specialists will have an opportunity to collaborate with the team of experts that developed the Achilles Certification program, the industry’s first standard for security compliance, to ensure our vendor partners provide products, services, and solutions that are resilient to cyber attacks. For Bell, it is essential to lose no time in setting up protection mechanisms that will ensure the security of the country’s critical infrastructure are in line with our strategies for safeguarding the resiliency in business activities.
Cyber security is one of the most challenging issues that today's automation customers must consider when evaluating their control system strategies.....Achilles plays an important role in verifying that our automation systems have the quality, reliability and robustness needed to resist a potential cyber incident.
Wurldtech and their Achilles test system are quickly becoming an
industry recognized standard test for diagnosing process controller security vulnerabilities.
Achilles provides a powerful platform from which we can automate and expand our security testing procedures, which in turn helps us identify issues early in the development lifecycle.
Finding and fixing security vulnerabilities in control systems before they are deployed in mission-critical networks is paramount as cyber-threats become more targeted and sophisticated.
Total has been encouraging Control Systems and PLC Vendors to perform cyber security tests, such as Achilles test. The results are used by Total for designing control and safety systems architectures.
